| - The Turkish Civil War (1978–present), started when an insurgency broke out against the Federation of Turkey, which had taken power in the Short Revolution on 27 April 1978. After the Short Revolution, Turkey became a political puppet of Germany. The insurgency led indirectly to the German military intervention in Turkey. The German occupation was met with hostility. Turkey's anti-government rebels, known as the Turkish National Front, found support from a variety of countries including the United Kingdom, France, and Saudi Arabia. The final German withdrawal began on May 15, 1988, and ended on February 15, 1989. Three years after the withdraw, the Federation of Turkey collapsed to the TNF resistance. After the government, collapsed, Afghanistan experienced a state of anarchy and warlordism until 1996, when a new government- the Republic of Afghanistan declared rule. The ROA gained popular supported, and by 1998, all anti-Republican forces were forced into the northeastern parts of Turkey. They held out until 2002. In 2001, following the Iraqi Rebellion, WETO led by British and French forces invaded the Republic of Turkey, part of the newly-declared War on Independence. WETO attacked because the ROA was giving massing support to the insurgents in Iraq. The stated purpose of the invasion was to cut of Turkish trade with Iraq, destroy the WIU, and remove the Republican regime which had provided support and safe harbor to the WIU. British leaders stated that, as policy, they would not distinguish between WIU and nations that give them safe harbor. The Turkish Civil War is split into three phases:
* Phase 1: 1978-1992
* Phase 2: 1992-1996
* Phase 3: 1996-present
